Hello everyone and WELCOME to the brand new Scoozy E-Bike Academy! 🚲✨ If you are reading this, you are part of a major shift in the e-bike world. After 13 years of designing and supporting electric bikes at Ride Scoozy, we realized something critical: The industry is changing. With big brands struggling and local shops hesitating to work on e-bikes, riders are often left feeling stranded. We are here to change that. This community is no longer just about buying a bike; it’s about owning it, understanding it, and keeping it on the road for years to come. Whether you ride a Scoozy, a Rad Power, or any other electric bike, you have a home here. 🛠️ What is this Community? We have built this platform to be the ultimate resource for e-bike owners. We are ditching the "submit a ticket and wait 3 days" model for a real-time, community-driven support system. Here is what you can expect: 1. 🎓 The "Right to Repair" Education (Classroom Tab) We are pulling back the curtain on e-bike mechanics. - The Basics (Free): Learn how to diagnose electrical issues, fix flat tires, and—most importantly—how to talk to local bike shops so they actually say "YES" to working on your bike. - The Mechanics (Paid/Membership): Deep dives into motor swaps, controller diagnostics, and advanced customization. 2. 🤝 A Safe Space for ALL Riders: No more "elitist" forum vibes. Whether you have a $5,000 cargo bike or a $800 folder, we are all dealing with the same physics, the same voltage, and the same flat tires. This is a place to ask "stupid questions" without judgment. 3. ⚡ Faster Solutions: By searching our Classroom modules and posting in the Community, you will often find the answer to your problem in minutes, not days. We are empowering YOU to be the expert of your own machine. 🚦 How to Get Started (Do this NOW!) 1. Introduce Yourself below! 👇 Drop a comment with a picture of your bike, where you are riding from, and what your #1 struggle is with e-bike ownership. 2. Head to the "Classroom" Tab: Start with the "E-Bike Basics" course. 3. If you do need further support diagnosing and working on your bike, we would love for you to join our VIP club that has a deep technical knowledge base for working on your e-bike, saving you hundreds in repairs every year!
